Hi Diana @dianaplwb, I think you might be referring to a condition called "earworm." I've had that for almost a year. Olds songs repeat over and over in my head "24/7". It stops when I'm with other people or doing something that involves thinking or concentration, but otherwise, the songs go one. Sometimes orchestral, or with a choral sound, sometimes just parts of songs. Often, if I begin to review other lyrics in my head from different songs, i can make it stop. Google "Earworm" and see if this describes what you're experiencing.

Yes I have heard it called Earworm. Mine never stops but if I am focusing on something it’s as if it stops but if I listen it is still there. I think the Earworm refers to when you have a familiar song that you can’t get out of your head but it goes away in a few days. Went to sleep last night with the National Anthem. Ugh!
